Lyrics:
don't mean just a year or two
So I'll just spend my life, friend, loving you
There are a million things I'd like to be
Like sailing a ship across
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore
And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot
In the Caribbean by providence impoverished
eyes?
Well, I'll give you a thousand reasons that tonight
You should grant me this one wish.
Like the one year of my life that I gave to you
A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I, face
Wouldn't do that to you
She said bite your lip, now, sweet child
You're the bastard son of a thousand blues
Well my Daddy was gone by the day I was born
Sunset, a clear blue lake
Fishing with the boys
A weekend hanging out with my best friends
Tall tales and ice cold beer
Well, I can't blame you
formative years by my peers I was influenced
Until the instruments of time killed the congruence
I peeped the blue prints on how to make true sense
Of MC's
A little lad these words he told me.
He was such a lovely doggie and to me he was such fun,
but today as we played by the way
A drunken man got mad
This is the only place on earth
Blue bonnets grow
Once a year they come and go
At this old house here by the road
And when we die we say, we'll
It is a way to forgot
Of last year's failure
Will the streetlight reflect me well enough
Am I transparent when I am clean
Will the darkness
you cared a lot
Look at all the heartache one tiny penny bought
[ steel ]
My penny's worth of tears will last a million years
And burn forever in this
she gon' stick around if them 25 years occur?
You think he can hold you down when you down behind bars, hurt?
You think y'all on common ground if you
your life okay?
Is it who you are?
Are you right on track
Or has it gone too far?
Well, only you will know
Don't let the blues get you down
I'll
Does he tell you when you're wrong?
Well, I've been watching you for hours
It's been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started
I've
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am
But you know life is for learning
Oh, we are stardust we are
Cold gray dawn, steel blue day sunset rust tonight
It's the same old picture to a love struck man
Who's suddenly seen the light
And I miss that
of the beautiful things
A child can do
How long would the child survive
How long if it was up to you
When you think about the money spent
On defense by
shines a pretty blue
"I read that love was meant for two"
Romance sparks the caliginous night
Another try for the million eyes
There's a tenuous line
you've ever seen
I dress in blue-yes navy blue
From head to toe I'm rather drab except my patent shoes
I make 'em shine, well most the time
'Cept today my
home
I got the Johnson baby powder and Cool Water cologne
Now I'm fresh, dressed like a million bucks
Threw on my white socks, with my all blue Chucks
on Rio from a heaven of blue
Send a radio to Rio de Janeiro
With a big hello just so they'll know and stand by there
We'll fly there
Oh, Rio,
can't even drink it
Well, maybe by Christmas they'll dig up the roads
Take whatever you can, girl
Leave the rest for the crows
Leave the rest for
to three or three to eleven
Eleven to seven
Well I worked shift work
For ten years man, I hated that work
Then I made a break with the money I saved
Sometimes I still think of you
Love that's gone by and the things I didn't do
Time heals hearts so they all say
Passing of years slowly pulls
